User Name: My initials plus the year I was born.

Avatar: Abe Simpson is one of my favorite characters from one of my favorite shows (The Simpsons). I'd probably change it every now and then if it didn't match my signature.

Family Ties Forever! · 12-10-2014, 09:01 PM

Username: Family Ties Forever! I have always loved the show Family Ties and it's my all-time favortie show.

It's perfect as a username for me.

Avatar: Christmas Mickey Mouse. I'm a big fan of Mickey Mouse. I love cats too, so often times my avatar will have a cat in it. Now and then I will have a Family Ties related avatar up. I also love teddy bears so I occasionally have a teddy bear in my avatar.

Signature: My name

Coffeecup · 12-10-2014, 10:08 PM

I like to drink coffee.

Back during the Citizen's Band (That's CB for those of you in Rio Linda!

) Radio Fad many many moons ago I adopted Starship Regulus as my "Handle" because I'm a "Trekker" and I'm a Leo (Regulus is the brightest star in the constellation Leo). Since most sites limit the number of letters you can have as your "handle" these days I shortened it to Regulus.

PS, I'm NOT into Astrology, and don't read any of that gobolddygook!

treky · 12-11-2014, 01:55 AM

my user name is because I'm a big fan of STAR TREK, my avatar is the very first sketch of Mickey Mouse that Walt Disney drew, and my signature is a scene from CHEERS because I also like that.

bmasters9 · 12-11-2014, 05:56 AM

While I have no explanation for why my username is the way it is, and I have no avatar either, I can explain why my signature is the way it is. Back when I was a boy watching college football on CBS, Jim Nantz was the studio host in New York at halftime with scores and highlights of other games; the segment was called The Prudential College Football Report (which was his first job with CBS, according to his book Always By My Side). For 1985, his first year on that, Pat Haden was with him in the studio. After that, he went pretty much solo, outside of occasionally having Ara Parseghian with him in the 1987 and '88 seasons.

Don Robertson was the CBS Sports announcer then, and my signature quotes his sponsorship bumper on that Prudential segment in the 1986 season on CBS. You can see it here (go to the 18:56 mark; after a CBS network ID ["This is CBS"], the Prudential segment starts with Don's sponsor bumper).

ponytail · 12-11-2014, 06:20 AM

My username; ponytail. I wear a ponytail every single day. My avatar is Hoss. I love the gentle, giant type of guys.

Torgo · 12-11-2014, 10:11 AM

My username is the name of a character from the late 60's super low budget horror flick 'Manos: The Hands Of Fate', which was made popular when it was riffed on Mystery Science Theater 3000. I'm a fan of cheesy horror, and MST3K.

My avatar is a puppet version of Torgo from the theatrical puppet musical 'Manos: The Hands Of Felt'.

My The Burbs quote is because The Burbs is one of my favorite movies, and favorite Tom Hanks movie. And I thought the quote was apt given this site.

My Stephen King quote is an actual quote of his, and it shows his great sense of humor.

I wear my hair in a ponytail a lot too! I would not be able to have short hair. I would feel lost if I couldn't wear the ponytail. I always thought even if I ever cut my hair shorter than it is , it still would have to be long enough for a ponytail!

I am Bonnie, born in 1962 .

I have used a few avatars already. This one , the finch bird, they are the cutest little breed of birds. I have some as pets. The one in the picture is a male with his bright orange cheeks.

And I had the Flintstones, because I love them! And my first one was a field of white daisies. Daisies are beautiful, my favorite flower I guess. I remember I was SO happy when I finally figured out how to post an avatar picture here!

Oh and I had Winnie the pooh for Thanksgiving, because I love Winnie. I will be putting up something new for Christmas soon!

tlc38tlc38 · 12-11-2014, 01:42 PM

TLC are my initials...seriously. 38 is just a random number I used to use a lot when making screen names. And I doubled it because everything is better the second time around.

Iola is one of my all-time favorite TV characters from my all-time favorite sitcom "Mama's Family".

My signature is self explanatory.

Marvo301 · 12-11-2014, 03:06 PM

My name is Marv so I added an O to the end of it and tacked on my apartment number and came up with Marvo301.

Penny Lane · 12-11-2014, 03:18 PM

My username is from The Beatles song of course. My signature is from John Lennon's Christmas song"Happy Christmas(War Is Over)" My location is also from The Song "Penny Lane".

I change my avatar a lot. Right now it is The Beatles in Santa hats

MrCleveland · 12-11-2014, 03:29 PM

Name-Because I live in Cleveland and I feel like I get the Cleveland treatment from time to time (we haven't won a Major sports title in 50 years).

Avatar-It's always Bugs Bunny since he's my favorite cartoon character. It'll usually be a different one season to season.

Signature-It comes from a quote from Lee Hazelwood "Thank God for kids that love obscure things! I never thought anyone would pay attention to those records, and it's a good feeling. It makes me feel like I really did get to do what I wanted to do". And it also has his life on earth...and I also like obscure things as well like Columbia Cartoons such as "Fox and Crow"...

...and music like this Nirvana from the UK that was around in the 1960's...

...just to name a few things!

MacLeaper · 12-11-2014, 03:34 PM

As one can tell from my signature quotes, I'm a big fan of MacGyver and Quantum Leap (among other things.) Quantum Leap fans are often called "Leapers". Thus, the combination of MacGyver and Leaper- MacLeaper.
The current avatar (which I doubt I'll ever bother to change) is a screen capture of MacGyver in a favorite scene from the "Rush to Judgment" episode, right towards the end.
And my signatures are some of my favorite quotes from favorite TV shows, and of course, one of my favorite Bible verses that clearly declares Jesus Christ as the only Way, Truth and Life Who gets us to The Father in Heaven when we put our faith in His death and Resurrection and follow Him.

AB · 12-11-2014, 04:24 PM

My username are my initials and the avatar I'm using at the moment is a cat on skis that I thought was cute.
